I'm on Windows XP. RE: Contact List Cleaner by Lvarlik on 11-01-2009 at 02:12 AM im in windows vista RE: Contact List Cleaner by djdannyp on 11-01-2009 at 02:30 AM
Oh well....there goes that theory then! RE: Contact List Cleaner by Benji on 11-01-2009 at 03:32 PM
It used to work perfectly though.. RE: Contact List Cleaner by djdannyp on 11-01-2009 at 06:50 PM I don't think that's to do with Messenger Plus! Live though. The Privacy settings are completely independent of Plus!, they're Messenger's own settings - it's where Plus! reads the contact cleaner information from, so there's nothing that can be done about it. it's most likely just a server style issue with Messenger RE: Contact List Cleaner by Benji on 11-02-2009 at 05:02 PM so am i doomed forever? RE: Contact List Cleaner by Mnjul on 11-02-2009 at 05:06 PM Microsoft might fix this inaccurate-inverse-list issue, but we don't know RE: Contact List Cleaner by Benji on 11-02-2009 at 05:09 PM hehe.. ok. RE: Contact List Cleaner by Lvarlik on 11-09-2009 at 03:55 PM is there any resolution ? RE: Contact List Cleaner by Benji on 11-09-2009 at 03:58 PM other than wait it out and see if it ever fixes on it own? noope.. RE: Contact List Cleaner by matty on 11-09-2009 at 04:02 PM No? This isn't controlled by Messenger Plus!. This is a server side notification issue with the Windows Live Messenger servers. It may be a temporary issue we don't know. We don't have access to it. The only information we can see about it is what is in the reverse list (which is provided by those servers. Plus! just simply puts a nice easy to use GUI around it.) RE: Contact List Cleaner by CookieRevised on 11-10-2009 at 09:44 AM
Also note that the some problems with the Contact List Cleaner, or in other words the Reverse List of Messenger itself, can be caused by manipulating the files of Messenger. RE: RE: Contact List Cleaner by aznmachine on 11-10-2009 at 07:42 PM
quote: although I didn't manipulate any of the files apart, I will try the fresh re-install. I emailed windows live support and all they've suggested so far is to remove contacts cache and let live remake it which hasn't worked... I mentioned "reverse lists" but they didn't respond to that directly.. RE: Contact List Cleaner by Benji on 11-10-2009 at 11:43 PM
When I first got the problem I tried repairing & then just completely uninstalling and reinstalling windows live and plus. tried twice. but that didn't work. RE: Contact List Cleaner by djdannyp on 11-11-2009 at 02:07 AM

PS: something else which will influence the Reverse List is the fact that if contacts didn't sign in for 135 days, they are actually removed from your list. RE: Contact List Cleaner by djdannyp on 11-12-2009 at 12:23 PM
quote: Hmm, I've just had a look through my contact list and can't confirm that. Just found one contact who hasn't signed in since December 2008 and they're still showing as "having me" in contact list cleanup. I think the current problem is just a server synchronisation issue and nothing to do with WLM or Messenger Plus! Live. As I've stated in another thread, I get exactly the same feedback on aMSN as to which contacts do and don't have me in their contact list, when I know for a fact that some of the ones it's saying don't have me do have me. RE: Contact List Cleaner by CookieRevised on 11-12-2009 at 12:25 PM
quote:It doesn't happen with every contact, there are some other 'rules' too. But it sure can happen. See help.live.com for exact details. I can't find that specific page at this moment that quickly, sorry. But it sure is a confirmed policy which needs to be taken in account. Bottom line is that these 'issues' are not always server synchronisation problems. They sometimes are because of strange/questionable but deliberate policies like the one I just described. Or because of a user's or contact's* fault like manipulating Messenger files (now or with a previous installation). * it can be the fault of that specific contact too. For example: if he/she manipulated Messenger's files, it could screw up their syncronization with yours and thus also yours with theirs. All this makes troubleshooting these 'issues' realy difficult and can only be done on a per-user basis by MS. Hence it is very important to not manipulate Messenger files and to contact support with the needed details so they can look into it. Seeking help on forums regarding these issues isn't going to help as nobody can actually do something about it, except MS themselfs. And after MS resets some stuff or whatever they do, it usually comes down to both parties (you and the contact) removing the other and removing the contact cashes, etc. In the end, it is seldom solved because of all this. Indeed, the only thing which is always true is that it has never anything to do with Plus! itself though. RE: Contact List Cleaner by aznmachine on 11-17-2009 at 06:24 PM this is still a problem for me... and i know its unlikely to do with my side but some server side issue. There are 2 contacts that have deleted me but it still shows me as having them, not only that but I can still view their windows live profile including "What's new". In the past when these contacts deleted me I could not view their live profiles anymore and they showed up as having deleted me in msn but not now. How can I view their complete profiles if they've deleted me? Because for some reason on the msn server it hasn't updated that they have deleted me... and thats surely done from their side? I mean when they log in their contact list goes to the server right.. so it should update... but its not RE: Contact List Cleaner by CookieRevised on 11-17-2009 at 06:50 PM
This could be because of what I described before: If they have tampered with their Messenger files, the stuff they do with their contacts is not syncronized to the servers (and thus eventually to you). RE: RE: Contact List Cleaner by mostang222 on 11-19-2009 at 07:34 PM
